The Impact Foundations and Institutes group arose when 22 foundations and institutes (family, corporate and independent) came together in 2016 to learn about investing in social and environmental impact businesses, experimenting with the use of different financial mechanisms. It originated from the Innovation in Social Finance Lab, created by the Alliance for Impact investments and Businesses (at the time called the Social Finance Task Force). Two learning cycles, called FIIMP 1 and 2, were held between 2017 and 2020, involving 32 institutes, foundations and companies. In all, around R$1.9 million was invested, nine impact ecosystem intermediaries were supported and 50 impact businesses directly benefited.
